Found a way around it, have the default form page be an action to,
move the SAVED_REQUEST_URL to another session variable that security
filter doesn't know about, do the login and then redirect the user
using that saved request.  All I am doing is allowing an Action to
do stuff after security filter is done, so as to clean up a prepare
for the user's session.  If this was not the intent of
securityfilter, that doesn't really bother me since this works for
what I need.  I want to be able to put more information in the user
session when they login and this is working for me.
